TBLers I have had a change of plans, I will be spending the remainder of my weekend at my lake house in NY. No computer but my 9700 will be at my side so I won't be ignoring anyone on purpose. Lets see 550 miles in about 6 hours, sure I am up to that challenge!! LOL Everyone have a safe and great weekend.

Thank you, thank you, I'm so proud of him and the rest of our families are so proud of him. Our most earnest prayers will be for his little brother who actually has to go to Afganistan in the next month

awww well thank you all so much... really, its so appreciated that it's not all in vain that we have support at home even in an unpopular war

Yes, blue, and you're in the right place here. You need someone to talk to, don't hesitate to holler. I've been deployed twice, and it's a tough thing to deal with, but I'm sure that many would tell you the same, We Got Your Back. That's the TBL way.

it's gonna be alright, our kids are 4 and 1 and they will only notice a little. I'll put up a lot of pictures of him on the fridge again so they can see him. And thanks to Skype we will get to talk more personally and more often

I bet that 4 year old will notice more than you think, and that you dragon will be the glue that keeps it all together. As Beast said, we are here for you, when you feel not the rock, but pulverized like concrete, to make you back into granite again. I expect there will be hard times, but pride for your husband and yourself, will do wonders putting things in perspective.

Ahh, shouldn't be too much of a problem, Webcams are pretty cheap, nowadays. You oughta check out Freecycle on Yahoo, people getting rid of stuff, and you can put up a request to see if anybody is looking to get rid of one.
